I just gave my opinion. Lord knows you won't shut up about yours. I don't see how Prince's career choices affects you, me, or anyone else here. Whatever business decision Prince has made in the past year has no affect on how I listen to his music. If you want my honest opinion as to why Prince is doing what he's doing. I think it's because he watched his father make horrible deals when he was growing up, and he doesn't want to be taken advantage of the way his dad was. He's also made reference his heroes like Little Richard & James Brown being screwed over by record companies. When he said that "they used to get Little Richard for a bucket of chicken & a new Caddy". He was referring to when record companies would give black artists cars instead of paying royalties. I think a lot of what he's doing stems from a fear of being taken advantage of. He doesn't wanna make the same mistakes his heroes made. It has nothing to do with his religion, 'cause he's been this way his entire career. I'm tired of people blaming Prince's religion when he does things they don't want him to do. Co-sign | |

prb said: gurdet said: But Prince only wants those select people who paid too watch him!! Its not like his work or shows are ridiculously expensive so people have no chance of seeing him. Why should he de-value his work by letting people see it for free? not everybody can afford airfares, accomodation to see prince (try living in Australia ). im not saying P should put his stuff out there 4 free, but pls give access to those who are willing to pay the price of a DVD etc. Good point. There's also the fact that the rest of the festival is being webcast & stopping for Prince to suit his ego is just a stupid hassle. Airing it would open up his music to a new audience. He loses that. Free the music my ass. | |

funkyhead said: well if true then he has no right to whine about the inevitable bootlegs that'll appear. Once again he plays right into the hands of the bootleggers!.
Bootleggers are going to bootleg this show even if the webcast was being shown. I think this happened with the Aladdin show in 2002-2003, so nothing would change even if Prince did the "right" thing. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Excellent Paris9748430! Your feed back should be front page under quotable members. What u have just said here is so true. The more Prince does the more people expects of him. Some are never satisfied and will always criticize him no matter what. He knows this and continues to do things his way and I totally admire him 4 it. The man has worked hard 2 get where he is 2day. He has paid royally to be the boss of his purple empire | |

Maybe not figuratively--you can still say, "Doesn't matter, I have my old albums," but literally it would affect you as a consumer of official Prince music because your supply would be cut off. | |

I don't know what sucks more. Being a Prince fan or a Michael Jackson fan. With Michael his stuff is available everywhere, but you get something new every, what, 7 years? And with Prince you get something new every year and a half or so.....but you never see it. WTF! | |

I'd like to add to this very sensible post that, although I've read in various Prince biographies that he has made more than one business blunders in his career, on the whole now I trust his business instincts.
Despite the claims that he is hurting himself by not exposing his music to a wider audience [with more releases or free material], I believe he knows what decisions to make to best serve his own interests. Paris9748430 said: RumAndRaisin said: why is no one on this forum is allowed an opinion???

Free the music my ass. You people are all reading far too much into all this. None of the other headline shows are being webcast, as far as I can make out. Only a relatively small number of acts is being webcast - it's absolutely not true that 'the rest of the festival is being webcast and stopping for Prince'. It is understandable that people assumed that Prince's show would be broadcast, but it's hardly fair to complain that it's not happening when neither Coachella nor Prince ever suggested it would happen. Rumandraisin - if something as small as this pisses you off so much, I suggest you get off the boat now. You need stamina and a thick skin to be a hardcore Prince fan... | |

RumAndRaisin said: the prince of today is corupt with money. thats all he cares about.
... Nope. What he cares about most is CONTROL. He likes money, sure enough, but his desire to have absolute control over his life and music borders on the pathological. That's why he does all the bizarre things you point out, even when it damages his career and loses him money. Releasing live DVDs and letting his videos be shown on YouTube wouldn't lose him money, it would make him money. But he's such a control freak he can't let it happen (or in the case of live DVDs, he can only do it after editing the performance out of all recognition, like the Aladdin DVD...). | |

It's tempting to buy because a lot of it i haven't seen but i can't bring myself to do it it just isn't right i asked him isn't this why prince doesn't want his material on youtube because of people like you? he says the same crap a lot of people in here say, it's just not enough. who are you to tell prince whats enough? he does what he does for him first, just like you make decisions for yourself that benefit you makes perfect sense to me | |
